Risteárd Mulcahy

Professor Risteárd Mulcahy was head of the cardiology department and the heart disease research unit at St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin. He is a past president of the Irish Medical Association and was one of the founders of the Irish Heart Association. He also has a strong political background. Risteárd has devoted much of his professional life researching the causes of coronary heart disease and has been active in the prevention of heart disease through healthy eating, regular aerobic exercise and the control of cigarette smoking. He has had a long-term interest in the health service in Ireland. Risteárd also practices what he preaches: he works two days a week, remains a keen walker who fits in 18 holes of golf two or three times a week and he ran his first marathon at the age of sixty-one.
